It sounds like this client knows what they're doing. VFP 5 is a very fine product.

>Building indexes in VFP6 is three times faster than VFP 5(they have some tables around 10 million records)
Typically, an index (tag) does not need rebuilding unless something is broke.

Sometimes, scroll bars on the side of forms can make it more difficult for end users.

>VFP 6 has a built in framework that can be used for some things
Find that "some thing(s)" and propose it.

>In this kind of situation, are there any other solid reasons for switching to VFP 6 that can improve things RIGHT NOW, not "if you expand in the future".
In this clients case, probably not...
